The quickest way to learn to crochet, is by attending an in-person event to be shown how to and practice the technique.
Having hosted over 60 crochet workshops since 2019, and taught hundreds of people of all ages how to crochet, I am confident that you can crochet.
There are crochet workshops available for all levels; from absolute beginners through to advanced crochet techniques. You can even arrange a 1-2-1 workshop for tailored support to help you complete your current project - simply email to arrange.
These in person Workshops are held in a small group setting, but I appreciate that not everyone thrives in a busy workshop. If that's you, drop me an email and arrangements can be made for a 1-2-1 workshop if required.
Workshops are hosted throughout the year, with varied techniques and topics covered. Below, you will find details of the most commonly hosted workshops, and you can find the dates of my upcoming local crochet workshops in Northampton by visiting my Eventbrite Page, clicking here.
Not everyone is local, so I'm always on the look out to teach further afield and once again for 2024, I will be hosting in-person workshops at both:
It was an honour to be invited back to host workshops at both these events again. There are 3 new workshops available to book, plus the much loved Making the Most of your Granny Squares workshop available to book now.
Please note - you will also need to purchase ticket to enter the wool festival/show to attend the workshops hosted during the event.
